Abstract: A method of synchronizing at least two computing elements (CE1, CE2) that each have clocks that operate asynchronously of the clocks of the other computing elements includes selecting one or more signals, designated as meta time signals, from a set of signals produced by the computing elements (CE1, CE2), monitoring the computing elements (CE1, CE2) to detect the production of a selected signal by one of the computing elements (CE1), waiting for the other computing elements (CE2) to produce a selected signal, transmitting equally valued time updates to each of the computing elements, and updating the clocks of the computing elements (CE1, CE2) based on the time updates. In a second aspect of the invention, fault resilient, or tolerant, computers (200) are produced by designating a first processor as a computing element (204), designating a second processor (202) as a controller, connecting the computing element (204) and the controller (202) to produce a modular pair, and connecting at least two modular pairs to produce a fault resilient or fault tolerant computer (200). Each computing element (202, 204) of the computer (200) performs all instructions in the same number of cycles as the other computing elements (202, 204). The computer systems include one or more controllers (202) and at least two computing elements (204). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A luminaire has a housing with a light emission window (2), a tubular lamp supported in the housing facing the window (2) and having a center line extending in a plane P perpendicular to the window (2), side reflectors (5), and three-dimensional lamellae (10) which each have an outer edge (11) and a pair of inner edges (12). The outer edge of each lamellae is concave in a direction transverse to the window. The luminaire thus provides an optimized cut-off angle, screening light which would otherwise be dazzling but permitting non-dazzling light to pass. Each of the lamellae has a concave curvature in a direction parallel to the plane P but which flattens out going from plane P towards the side-reflectors (5). That enlarges the aperture through which light emanates and makes the illumination provided by the luminaire more uniform.

Abstract: A suspension system for magnetically suspending an object O comprises an electromagnetic coil L having an axially extending core 13 of magnetically permeable material and a permanent magnet 14 disposed on its axis. A permanent magnet 10 is also provided in the object O and is arranged such that it is in attraction with the permanent magnet 14 on the coil L, and with the magnetically permeable core 13 so that the object O is suspended at a position below the coil L by the attractive force. Sensors 15,16 on the coil L detect the magnetic field of the permanent magnet 10 in the object O, and provide signals to a control circuit, which applies current to the coil L to attract the object O when the detected field is below a predetermined limit and to repel the object when the detector field is above a predetermined limit. In this manner, the object O is held in position using a relatively low current, since the coil L is only energised when the object moves away from the position in which it is held by the field of the permanent magnets 10,14.

Abstract: Retroviral vectors are disclosed which are useful in gene therapy. The packageable RNA genome of the vector provides in the DNA provirus a regulated promoter which is inducible by a regulatory factor e.g the HIV transactivator protein Tat, and at least one selected gene under its transcriptional control. In the DNA provirus, the regulated promoter is present in the 5' long terminal repeat (LTR) in place of the 5' LTR promoter function of the retrovirus, and the selected gene is located between the LTRs. Thus when inserted into a host cell the gene will be expressed only when the DNA provirus is exposed to the regulatory factor. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Security devices are widely used for guarding spaces or areas (for example outdoor areas), with detectors monitoring different planes. It is a requirement for a good operation of a security device that the risk of false alarms should be reduced to a minimum. Each plane is subdivided into several subplanes in that the detector for each plane is provided with several sensors which are positioned so as to enclose an angle with one another. The risk of false alarms is substantially reduced thereby. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An interactive computer configuration system is an aid for a sales person or a customer to make it easy to grasp and configure a huge configuration problem. The user interacts with the computer system and makes many choices successively, and a configuration engine checks each choice for validity. The configuration engine comprises a configuration model defining mutual predefined relations between the selectable elements and comprises programs for validating a set of choices against said configuration model. The invention relates to the situation where a requested choice made by the user corresponds to an invalid configuration instance. According to the invention, the user is allowed to insist on this choice and an alternative investigation system according to the invention will present to the user a number of relevant proposals for undoing choices made previously so that a valid configuration instance can be obtained. According to the invention only relevant proposals are presented to the user and further in the most expedient way, seen from a customer's point of view. According to the invention the lowest possible number of choices to be undone is first presented to the user. Yet, a further aspect of the invention allows the user, during the alternative investigation process, to make previous choices cardinal choices, whereby the relevance of the proposals for obtaining alternatives will be further enhanced.

Each of the additive, binder, and crosslinking agent are present throughout a thickness of the first layer. Preferably, the first layer is coated onto the second layer, which is preferably a non-water-soluble thermoplastic polymer, e.g., polyolefin, polyamide, and/or polyester. The film is especially useful for cook-in applications, in which a food product (preferably comprising uncooked meat) is packaged in the film with the coated layer against the meat. The meat is then cooked and the additive transfers to the meat, and purge can be very low. The invention also pertains to a process for preparing a cooked food product, process for making a coated film, and articles formed from the film, such as bags and casings.

Abstract: The need for the delivery of insulin by injection can be reduced or eliminated by delivering an aerosolized monomeric insulin formulation. Repeatability of dosing and more particularly the repeatability of the blood concentration versus time profile is improved relative to regular insulin. The blood concentration versus time profile is substantially unaffected by specific aspects of the patient's breathing maneuver at delivery. Further, the rate at which blood glucose is lowered is increased by the use of monomeric insulin. Particles of insulin and in particular monomeric insulin delivered to the surface of lung tissue will be absorbed into the circulatory system. The monomeric insulin may be a dry powder but is preferably in a liquid formulation delivered to the patient from a hand-held, self-contained device which automatically releases an aerosolized burst of formulation. The device includes a sensor which is preferably electronic which measures inspiratory flow and volume which measurement can be used to control the point of drug release.
